London taxis are by far the worst, so many horrid experiences with these arrogant crooks. But again, each to their own. Singapore is Grab-land for me.

Each to their own. The last thing I would ever ever ever do is giving my hard earned cash to these rude, monopolistic and dirty taxi drivers. So grateful to have left these days behind me for good!

I’m disappointed too but see this as a nice to have in places where there’s no proper Hyatt or when you feel like splurging on something crazily expensive. Lack of Globalists benefits is a real shame but SLH wasn’t any better in this respect. To be honest- many of those “US bloggers” simply had...

We learnt to love Hyatt during the end tail of the pandemic when they had the offer to “only” need 30 instead of 60 nights per year to achieve Globalist status and now never want to look back. After years of loyalty (and admittedly easy Gold status through Amex) to Starwood, when they went...

Property: Commune by the Great Wall, Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Greater Beijing, China Tier: Globalist Booked: Point stay for 1bedroom Suite Received: A rundown 1 bedroom suite and various amenities (see details in my report below) This is a really difficult property to rate. Yes, it is very...

Yes, I am one of them. And I LOVE competition- teaches stingy Qantas a lesson with their "Half the points and only on the way to/from the airport"!

Unless you're connecting to a flight in the Schengen terminal. That lounge is an absolute zoo- last year, I twice encountered a single meal option which was "Pasta with creamy cod and salmon" (yuck, the whole lounge stank like rotten fish) and only seating available were right across the VERY...

I'm glad it's pointed out here that Air NZ was one of the absolute worst offenders when it came to refunding passengers during the pandemic. I was living in Auckland during this time and while Qantas was a pain in the backside (endless calls with inapt call center agents) if you wanted a...

Property: Andaz Xintiandi, Shanghai, Mainland China Tier: Globalist Booked: 5 nights in Standard King and applied Globalist Suite Upgrade Award Received: Big suite, mid-high floor and away from the construction site opposite of the hotel What a lovely stay we had! Some of the reviews of this...

Thank you- missed that! Looks rather underwhelming though :(

“Mediterranean Pizza”? Now, that’s something I haven’t come across yet. Is it really pizza pizza or more like a soggy pie filled with tomato sauce and veggies? Does anyone happen to have a picture of this? I’m genuinely curious…

We are in the same boat there! I also don’t eat seafood and am not exactly a fan of veggies with nothing else, so often it’s steak or chicken (unless I’m lucky and there’s a pork dish on the menu). But I must say- many airlines manage to do steak better than Qantas does. SQ comes to mind (they...

Looks like it is OQA. Would love to see the “old bird” come back home!

Love how the morons are the SMH just HAD to use a file photo of a Boeing 787 with the word “Dreamliner” staring into your face for this article :rolleyes:

Wow- I would love to think that this cannot be true but a.) that lounge is generally terrible and I wouldn't put it past them and b.) it does look like the Sydney Domestic J lounge at first glance. Truely a new low if it's indeed real and they put it out like that.

May I ask what was so bad with the curry? Looks a bit dry maybe but curries usually go well on airplanes. Was it the meat quality? The sauce? Too much rice? And a rude CSM sounds very out of place at Qantas. A bit lazy or slow maybe but rude- what exactly makes you say this?

For me, the only thing that matters is whether Classic flight awards will still be existing. And something tells me, they will more and more “disappear”, even if only over time.

Oh god no, do not involve these useless morons or else even the last bit of value will be gone from those schemes!:rolleyes:

I wanted to say, since when does EK… You’ve answered my question! :)

Well, at least Qantas has them. No chance on the likes of Singapore Airlines and many others or those ridiculous cardigans to wear in an already overheated cabin on JAL. Then rather those QF PJs with the roo on it!
